The atmosphere in the hotel was very good and quiet. The staff were faultless in their attention to our needs well done everyone. The room we were in was a bit tired and needed some TLC especially in the bathroom.

Would not class this hotel 4 star. A lot of money has been spent on the communal areas which are very nice. Bedrooms and carpets not so much. Bedding clean and bed comfortable. Stingy with biscuits. Only 1 a day each Lotus biscuits. Room needs decorating, lots of marks on walls. No light over mirror. The light is at the back of you so it is dark.Large mark on ceiling where light fitting had been moved. Chips on woodwork and dirty windows. We also had to pay £15.00 per 24 hrs for security parking which is excessive. Carpets were filthy with lots of stains throughout in communal areas and bedroom. Breakfast was buffet and on the first morning there were no croissants or pastries and it was only 8.45am. My husband had a cooked breakfast which he said was warm. On the second morning there were a few pastries left and no croissants left. My husband had a lukewarm cooked breakfast.

Clean, spacious, comfortable, noisy, odd plumbing.

The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable enough. The shower was strange in that it didn't drain seem to drain while in it. A strange barrier had also been glued in place to stop it overflowing onto the bathroom floor. To use the wifi you had to agree to some pretty egregious breaches of privacy, so I decided not to use it. Thumping music blared until 11pm from a wedding the hotel was hosting. It would have been nice to have been offered an option to relocate upstairs to a more distant floor.

Good Location, But That’s About It

Stayed at the Dukes Head over the weekend for a wedding and was left quite disappointed. Our room’s air conditioning didn’t work, and since it overlooked all the vents, it became uncomfortably hot. Even worse, the water in both the sink and bathroom didn’t drain properly. Despite reporting it twice to reception, nothing was done, and we ended up flooding the bathroom multiple times. It felt like the staff didn’t care. The best part of the hotel is the location – very convenient for getting into town. However, I would strongly recommend skipping the hotel breakfast; The Globe nearby serves two breakfasts for £12, compared to £25 for two at the hotel. Parking is also an issue: it’s very limited on-site and more expensive than using Tuesday Market Place just nearby. Overall, it’s handy for the town, but the poor room conditions and lack of response from staff really let it down.

Ok, wouldn’t stay again

Although the communal areas were in very good condition, the stairwells and rooms are a bit tired. Located next to the lift, the noise of the lift was awful, it sounded as though someone was trying to break into the room every time the lift opened. The hotel has potential but it’s not been reached. Breakfast, which I thought was included turned out to be an additional £30, there’s a Whetherspoons nearby, which would have been much better value for money and better quality. Parking is also an additional charge, so on first look it seems reasonable but by the time I added the additional fee for parking and the costly breakfast, it would have been better to book elsewhere. Location is quite good though.

Nice room. Bathroom was very clean and good condition. Only small issue was there was only 1 mirror which was in the bathroom that was not very well lit at all so was very difficult to apply make up and contact lenses. However the team on Reception gave us a portable small Make up Mirror with light. Very nice Hotel would definitely stay again

Lift

Hotel is good and the majority of staff were excellent , However we were put into a room next to the lift and it was very noisy regardless of what floor it was going to and asked to change room / downgrade but NO thus we did not get much sleep for the two nights we were there , We were attending an event at Sandringham and asked someone behind reception for advice on transport and the response was 100% negative starting with certain guests checked out as you will not get there (there were solutions)

We are both in our seventies and my wife has a blue badge as she has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. We paid over £280 for two nights in this hotel and were shocked to have to pay an extra £15 per night on arrival to park our car in the hotel car park. Also our room was on the top floor and the temperature was 30 degrees with no air con. Won't be going back.
